Guidelines for High School, ROP and Adult Education Teachers and Administrators

In order for students to have either noncredit articulated courses or Credit
by Examination articulated courses placed on their college transcript it is required
that these courses be articulated between each High School, ROP or Adult Education
program and Foothill College. This articulation is on a course by course basis.

California Education Code places responsibility for approval with the college
faculty in that discipline. In order to determine if your courses are appropriate
for articulation with a Foothill College course you will need to work collaboratively
with Foothill College faculty.

Articulating your course(s) consists of two parts. Below are the steps for each
part to articulate your course with Foothill College:

Part 1: Request

Consult with your High School/ROP/Adult Education colleagues to determine the following:

Review the Foothill College Catalog at http://www.foothill.edu/schedule/catalog.php

Does your course appear comparable to the Foothill College course?

Are there valid reasons to pursue articulation for this particular course?

Is your course outline detailed and current with the Foothill College course?

Is there an instructor available who has the time and desire to work through the collegial consultation and approval process?

Note: Be sure to make a copy of the application form for your own records!

Your request will be forwarded to the faculty and dean of the appropriate discipline.
You will be contacted for preliminary discussion. If the course is deemed appropriate
for either category, the process moves to Part 2: Agreement.

Note: Be sure to make a copy of the application form for your own records!

When all college level approvals are completed, we will send you a copy of the
final approved agreement. We will then list the articulated course on the Academic
Senate's Statewide Career Pathways site, http://www.statewidepathways.org/.
